On 5th course of antibiotics this year, 21day augment for chronic sinusitis. will see ent once i get insurance. i'm scared about resistance.will i die?

See ENT ASAP: With all those antibiotics in a few months, I agree antibiotic resistance is a concern, but you certainly aren't going to die from it. Still, seeing ENT is very important; you might need sinus drainage surgery to stop the recurrent infections. Maybe urgent enough or cost-saving to get insurance right away. Contact insurance exchange or health dept ASAP; maybe Obamacare can help (even in Texas!).
